A distant joining in with our bloghop courtesy of Sarah’s Craft Shed from the Beaujolais in France.
We loved Clos Lucé in Amboise. We had the idea of Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions but when you see them all, built life-size it’s stupendous.
A double decker bridge and a swing bridge he invented
We couldn’t go on a boat under Chenonceau castle as planned as both the Loire and the Cher have burst their banks.
Amboise is a pretty town though.
And a cordwainer making rope.
We’re now in Beaujolais with family and tonight is the Rosé festival, Thursday is our 41st wedding anniversary, and this weekend is our goddaughter’s birthday party.
And finally…
Take care and happy WOYWW

Thanks so much for joining in from France Lynne. Loving Leonardo's desk! Enjoy the rest of your visit - it looks very interesting. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
Loved Leonardo’s desk, great to feature that on WOYWW!! I’ve seen a programme about the building of that castle on the telly, how fab to visit it and see all the artisans there. The herbalist must have ben fascinating but it’s the cordwainer that interested me, such a boring everyday item that we don’t even think about but it took some making with more primitive technology. Hope you have a wonderful anniversary and party too!

Wow! Leonardo actually joining in with WOYWW??!! Imagine if he left comments on our blog posts - I wonder what on earth he'd say about my skills, haha! What a pretty and interesting trip you've been having. Hope it continues to impress. Have a great week, Lisa-Jane #8, www.PrettyMyPage.co.uk
Oh Lynne,, what a fab post. It seems you are having a wonderful holiday and I am enjoying seeing what you are getting up to. Love all this about Leonardo and to see his desk and paints - WOW! I wish I could see these things.
Wonderful photos and I love the horse with the "bleached" bob hair do. Sounds like the sort of holiday I would thoroughly enjoy.
Congratulations to you and Brian on your anniversary, 41 years is a great one to celebrate and happy birthday to your god daughter.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

What a fantastic holiday! To think of Leonardo Da Vinci participating in WOYWW! Awesome! I'm sure he's here in spirit! I would love to see all his inventions, amazing! I love going to places like the one you went to, showing how things were done in the past. We have a place about an hours drive from here called Upper Canada Village. Very cool! Happy Anniversary! And enjoy the birthday party! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #14
Oh that looks lovely - and yeah I did think it could be our desk at first :) The tee shirt funny? Slayed me! Substitute Trump for Farage and I'm there. Actually ADD Trump to Farage - they are both twats!
Late AGAIN - the day got away from me
